Certification guide
What is ICP?
ICP is the ICAgile Certified Professional, the foundational ICAgile certification in agile fundamentals. It covers the agile mindset and values, why iterative delivery works, and the shared vocabulary of frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean, without tying you to any one of them.
Who is ICP for?
Anyone starting out with agile ways of working: new team members, managers whose teams are adopting agile, and career changers who want the recognised entry credential.
How do you earn the ICP certification?
You earn ICP by completing an accredited 14-hour live course with an ICAgile member organisation such as Agile Visa. There is no exam: ICAgile certifications are assessment-based, earned through participation in the exercises and activities of the class. The credential is lifetime and never needs renewal.
Does ICP expire?
No. Like every ICAgile certification, ICP is a lifetime credential with no renewal fees or continuing education requirements.
How much does ICP cost?
With Agile Visa the live online ICP course costs US$699 per seat. The price box on the course page shows the seat price for your country.
What does ICP help you do?
ICP gives you the shared agile mindset and vocabulary that every agile team relies on. You learn why iterative delivery works and how Scrum, Kanban and Lean fit together, through hands-on activities rather than theory alone. It is the recognised ICAgile starting point and a lifetime credential with no renewal fee.
